Starta.one
Manage pigment stocks for color work and needles in real time so every tattoo session is stocked with consumables without extra costs or unexpected pauses.
Starta.one is an AI CRM for service businesses. It combines online booking, client management, finance, team scheduling, and marketing into a single system — configured and operated by AI. Over 1,000 businesses use Starta. Tattoo studio and inventory management is where Starta shines: AI already understands your industry’s specifics and tailors the system to your workflows.
When an artist prepares their station for complex realism or a large-scale neotraditional piece, it’s crucial to be sure the right needle setups and pigments are in stock. Automatic write-offs let you calculate the exact cost of each service, including small consumables. If a client comes for a healing check or a touch-up after 6 weeks, you clearly see the history of used resources. This ensures the studio doesn’t lose profit due to uncontrolled use of expensive aftercare products or antiseptics during daily work.
A tattoo session is 2-6 hours of work. A cancellation the day before means an empty slot that can't be filled. Without deposits, you bear all the risk.
Discussing designs, confirming sizes, choosing times — dozens of messages per client. You spend evenings messaging instead of creating.
In the tattoo industry, stock control often takes a back seat to creativity, but this is where studios face their biggest financial losses. When several artists work in different styles — from neotraditional to old school — tracking ink and needles becomes chaotic without automation. Without linking materials to specific tattoo sessions, it’s impossible to understand why expensive pigment runs out twice as fast as planned in the budget.
This issue is especially critical during large projects like detailed realism. Sessions lasting 4-6 hours require significant amounts of cartridges, wipes, and sterilization supplies. If the artist just grabs materials from the shelf without logging them, the owner only sees total expenses at month-end, which doesn’t allow proper margin evaluation per specialist. Implementing automatic write-offs via tech cards for each service category solves this problem once and for all.
Additionally, proper inventory management supports effective upselling. Instead of just advising clients to buy products at the pharmacy, the studio offers specialized aftercare right after the session. When sales of healing cream are recorded in the same document as a 6-week touch-up or initial session, a full client interaction history is created. This not only raises average check size but also ensures clients get verified products for safe healing of their new tattoo.
Three day-to-day moments where the difference is obvious.
A tattoo session is 2-6 hours of work. A cancellation the day before means an empty slot that can't be filled. Without deposits, you bear all the risk.
Control exact stock levels of needles, caps, and pigments for every tattoo session. Each item is written off instantly, preventing shortages during busy hours.
Inventory Management takes over the part of running a tattoo studio that quietly eats 1-2 hours a day — no spreadsheets, no chasing replies, no fatigue mistakes.
Control exact stock levels of needles, caps, and pigments for every tattoo session. Each item is written off instantly, preventing shortages during busy hours.
Set up tech cards for services in realism or minimalism styles. The system automatically calculates ink and antiseptic usage based on session complexity and duration.
Receive automatic notifications when barrier protection or disinfectant stocks run low. You’ll always have time to reorder consumables before the last limited slot closes.
Add healing films and creams directly to the client’s receipt. Sales are recorded automatically, updating stock and showing real profit from retail.
Perform quick stock checks comparing actual pigment levels with system data. This helps identify misuse of expensive materials during sketching or training.
The admin enters all consumables into the database and creates sets for specific services, for example — a separate kit for color work or black-and-white tattoos.
When the artist finishes a session and closes the visit in the calendar, the system automatically writes off needles, ink, and antiseptics from inventory according to the chosen tech card.
The studio owner reviews product movement reports, sees the real cost of each tattoo, and places orders with suppliers based on accurate shortage data.
